So Long, Honey

A goodbye, addressed to honey.

Propolis is the resin bees seal a hive with. Beeswax is what they build the comb from, here clarified, and clover and lavender are flowers they forage. All four are in it.

Someday, honey…

Folkwinds was founded by Jono Bornstein to highlight North American made aromatic materials, designs, and artwork. Rather than working from an abstract idea of place, each fragrance is built as a scent-scape, a composition meant to capture the actual beauty of one specific North American landscape, translated through materials that are primarily natural and American-sourced rather than described from a distance.

That same care extends to the presentation. Caps are machined from solid metal, and patches are cut from leather veg-tanned in the USA, each piece designed to outlast the perfume inside and be carried on afterward, repurposed rather than discarded. The formulas themselves run over 90% natural, built on rare materials such as white ambergris, deer musk, floral absolutes, and sandalwood.
